Z2m suddenly doesn't want to connect to mosquito anymore (no error in the log)

hello HA community

i have a wierd problem and i cant seem to find a fix for it maybe one of you guys experienced this brefore?

out of no where when i was at work z2m crashed and now it reports starting but keeps hanging there.
i checked the config everything should still be good

the only thing it reports in log is:
]INFO: Preparing to start…
INFO: Socat not enabled
INFO: Starting Zigbee2MQTT…

then it just stops doing something (afaik it should report connecting to the broker)

what i tried:

  • restarting both the broker and z2m multiple times in different orders
  • re made the configs
  • rebooted and hard rebooted the HA server
  • made the login info invalid in the z2m config (then z2m and the broker do give a error)
  • reinstalled the broker

before i reinstall z2m and probably have to re pair / setup every zb device again i thought to post it here

note:
this are the last log reports of mosquito:

INFO: Starting NGINX for authentication handling…
INFO: Starting mosquitto MQTT broker…
2022-10-05 19:18:18: Warning: Mosquitto should not be run as root/administrator.
INFO: Successfully send discovery information to Home Assistant.
INFO: Successfully send service information to the Supervisor.

i did some digging and testing

it seesm that z2m is connecting to mosquito and pushing stuff to it

but for some reason mosquito isnt doing anything with it

it has been fixed

for people that have the same problem

  • check your broker with MQTT explorer
  • if z2m shows up with data under it re configure the account info from mosquito (in deviced and services)
